Among the grounds listed in Cuthill’s notice of appeal was “that the learned trial judge erred in denying the appellant’s application for exclusion of evidence on the basis of spousal privilege.”

Texts between Cuthill and Tim Rempel leading up to Lane’s disappearance were crucial to the Crown’s case against her.

In them Cuthill spoke of her frustration over Lane’s attempts to reintegrate himself into their daughter’s life after she commenced court proceedings for guardianship.

In her testimony Cuthill said comments which suggested she wanted Lane gotten rid of were just her “venting.”

She admitted an exchange just hours before her husband went to meet with Lane was her giving him the okay to talk with him, but claimed she didn’t want Lane harmed.

But Cuthill did admit on the witness stand that there might be violence in the meeting.

A second ground of appeal was that Macleod erred in instructing jurors they could convict Cuthill if they found she was willfully blind to what her husband and brother-in-law would do once she set her plan in motion.

All three were sentenced to life in prison without parole for a minimum 25 years.

Tim Rempel has already filed an appeal. His brother filed his late Friday.
